Title: new Japanese planes
Post by: senna on June 10, 2002, 01:57:32 AM: I sure would like a ki-43, ki-44, ki-84, and a perked ki-100. They were a blast in wb and would be a great addition to ah.

my 2 cents :)

Post by: Karnak on June 10, 2002, 02:46:40 AM: Perked Ki100?

The Ki100 had a top speed of 334-367mph and a initial climb rate of 3,300ft per minute. There's nothing remotely perkable about the Ki100.

Somebody may be able to make a very waek argument that the Ki-84 should be perked, but its performance also fails to warrant perking.

The only two Japanese aircraft that might warrant perking would only be added if HTC were to go into the "what-if" aircraft. The J7W1 and A7M2 would both warrant perking, and the A7M2 would be cheap.

Post by: Mitsu on June 10, 2002, 05:49:51 AM: Why is Ki-84 perk?

Surely Ki-84 is the best IJAAF fighter.

But see below,
Those planes are not perk plane:
Bf109G10, Fw190D9, P-51D and N1K2.

Ki-84 can't out-turn from these planes, except N1K2.
And Ki-84 maybe can't out-turn N1K2, also Ki-84-I-Ko doesn't have 4 20mm cannons loadout.
I think that HTC won't release Ki-84-I-Otsu, 20mm*4 version of Hayate before releasing Ki-84-I-Ko.

So it shouldn't be perked.

Yes, IJAAF needs twins.
Ki-102 is powerful twins in IJAAF,
but what about Ki-44 "Toryu"? :)

I hope to see soon at AH Ki-44-IIc(4x20mm Ho-3 or 2x12+2x40mm HO-301) and Ki-44-IIIa (4x20 HO-5). It could be
like a Japanese Fw 190 A8.

Please look my post:
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52388

Ki-44-II-Hei (also known as Ki-44-IIc) had 12.7mm*4 only.
Ki-44-II-Otsu had 12.7mm*2+40mm rocket cannon loadout.

Ki-44-III was not mass-produced.
Few prototypes only.

Post by: senna on June 10, 2002, 12:57:18 PM: Oops didnt realize ki-100 was so slow. Thot it would be a much improved ki-84. Guess it was simply a practical solution because of the lack of engines used in the ki-84 due to bombing. In that case then since it was used in such smaller numbers, no need for a ki-100 other than just to have one or as a variant of the ki-84. That would be cool as well. Just a difference in the nose right, airframe is the same. How about a Raiden or Jack as a change. Ki-43 and ki-84s were the main aircraft of the IJAAF in WWII. We goto have those. Ki-44 would also be nice.

Can we move this post to the airplanes and vehicle section? Oh well just let this one die.
